I highly recommend the Hindi language courses at Zabaan School. Teachers' explanations are to the point. They teach us various things not only about Hindi but also Indian culture. All of the staff is very kind and friendly. Also, the food there is very delicious. I would have some tea (When it comes to this tea, the ginger really did the trick. That is the most delicious tea I've ever had.)while studying with my teachers and friends. Studying Hindi at Zabaan School was an amazing experience to me！If you want to learn Hindi in India, you should definitely go to Zabaan School.

Can't recommend highly enough. I took three weeks of a four week elementary Hindi intensive, and was in a small group of three students. Classes ran in the mornings Monday to Friday, leaving plenty of time for revision and other activities. Three teachers shared the classes, and each was in their own way very sensitive to the task of teaching foundational Hindi from English, with enough of the kind of hooks/sidenotes/nods to complexity that keep you engaged. The school itself is a fun place, there's a bit of an infectious love of language learning ... and its very very close to a metro station!

I highly recommend Zabaan. I've taken classes at Zabaan during two trips to India, and I will be back. I have a decently large comparison set, having studied languages at universities and private language schools in the US, China, and India. In my experience, Zabaan stands out for its combination of teachers who know Hindi in depth but also have an incredibly profound and helpful meta-understanding of the language--things like grammar, syntax, and tone/context. The intro class has several teachers who rotate, which I found was a fantastic combination of native speakers (with obvious benefits as teachers) and non-native learners who have the unique insights that only outsiders can bring. For example, I was struggling with how to pronounce two of the t's in Hindi. Then one day, an Australian teacher taught me the difference between the two in a single insightful moment. Added bonus: The home-cooked lunches and chai are also fantastic. Highly recommend.

Mohammed
Hi! I’m Dr Mohammed Dawood a PhD in Persian from Jawaharlal Nehru University, where I developed a strong foundation in Indo-Persian languages and literature. My academic journey includes a B.A., M.A., M.Phil, and PhD, all from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, where I honed my expertise in Persian language and literature. Over the years, I have cultivated a robust skill set for studying classical texts and have become proficient in reading Nas’ta’liq and various Persian manuscripts.
My teaching approach is clear and effective. I begin by understanding my students’ goals and the time they can commit to learning Persian. This allows me to tailor courses specifically to their needs. Once students grasp the basics and recognize letters, I assess their reading and writing skills while diligently addressing any errors from day one.
With experience as a teacher at Mumbai University in the Persian Department and at the American Institute for Indian Studies (AIIS) in Lucknow, I am well-equipped to guide students on their journey to mastering the Persian language.
